Stanton and the President.

We quote the following anecdote
from "RecollectiOns of Secretary Stan

in the March Century: "When Mr..
Stanley of North Carolina, was APP
pointed military governor of his state,
the secretary of war caused to be filed
out one of the blank forms used for
notifying military nominees of their
appointment to Office by the president,
and when he had signed it and caused
the seal of the department of war to
be attached to it, he concluded that it
would be well to have the sign-manual
of the president affixed to the instru-
ment. He sent the commission to the
White House with the request that the
president would sign and return it i'm
mediately. Mr.. Lincoln took the doc

then began turning and twisting it
about, as though in search of some
thing. At last he handed it to the

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease are physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure or pain, eOntentment OF
unhappiness, success failure. Health is essen
tiai to the accomplishment of every purpose while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and Hottest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the crowning work of the Creator
and when this complicated structure so exquisite
ly wrought is disturbed by disease. the most 'suf
icient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician for the human body is too precious to be
neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in ali forms
of disease and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to chronic linger-
ing diseases. DR.. E. W. Royce of Boston, now at
the Avenue house, St. Johnsbury, Vt, has met a
public need and is great benefactOr to the sick.
His means ample, and his resources so
abundant, that he is enabled, in almost all cases
of chronic diseases to effect perfect and complete
cure by means of HARMLESS VEGETABLE
REMEDIES.

A Wonderfully Successful Treatment

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done more for the alienation of
human suffering and the of disease than DR.
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means of poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system. He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies in the laboratory of NATURE. After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas, he
further pushed his Investigations in the treatment
of diseases, by vegetable remedies, twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine, he has
made the study and investigation of the treatment
of one class of disease-the of chronic long
standing cOmplaints-a life work and the result
is certainly marvellous. Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different Diseases which were won
derful in their effects. Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up incurable by other
physicians restored to sound and perfect
health under the use of these

About Florida.

William G.. Prime of the New York
Journal of Commerce, very trust
worthy observer, has been in Florida
and says the west coast is developing
rapidly in the vicinity of Tampa, but
that the railroad from Sanford to Tam
pa and Everybody else are disposed to
| kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs. Immigration has stopped, and
the villages which sprung up and SEEM
ed so promising three years ago have
ceased to grow and are stagnant. He
says
One of the prominent causes of
course is the absurdly high valuations
which were placed on lands by specu
IatOrs. 1t was nonsense to expect en-
high northern land prices for wild
lands. But another and decisive cause
is visible. The South Florida railroads
freight and passenger charges make
the country too expensive to live in.
The land in Florida is all poor, and is
only machine, in a fine climate, to
turn manure into vegetation. Fertlll-
zers are as essential to Florida farming
as hoes and plOws and water. The
freight charges on fertilizers make
farming more costly down here than in
New England. The farmer is a long
way off from both his place of purchas
ing supplies and his market to sell his
produce, and an expensive railway eats
up all and more than all his little pro-
fits. His candle burns at both ends.
The result is not only that the emf
grant who is here wants to go away,
but he writes and warns his friends
NOT tn Gonna Tins there ia no invita-
Uion to immigration except what is ex
tended by spectators in land, and
they are unsuccessful. l am perfectly
aware of the offense these plain truths
will give to some people. But they
are truths, and it is necessary for us,
who have no ends to serve but public
good, to publish such facts, that emf
grants may know where not to go.
